The Nonsensical Spam Comment Project

I was spending some time over at Rachel Lewis's blog today and gushing at her lovely illos. I'm not sure how I missed it before but she has set up the best project, it really brought a smile to my face.

'This is a self initiated project, where I illustrate the random and nonsensical spam comments that I get on my blog. Usually the spam is just Chinese or adverts for porn (great) but sometimes you get very interesting sentences, that seem almost wise and prophetic; they make sense in a strange way. I love picking out the extraordinary from the mundane and representing it in my work; this is one of the projects that does this well. It’s an ongoing thing; whenever I get a good comment that makes me smile or a bit confused, I’ll illustrate it. Click on the thumbnails to see the full illustrations!' - Rachel Lewis
